OUR VIEWS

It is our position that we must give construction workers a brake and allow them to finish their jobs quickly and without incident. With numerous projects, big and small, taking place in Hamilton County concurrently, we need to be attentive to these zones and be sure to follow the appropriate signals. Yet likewise, staff must understand their own role and remain focused on keeping traffic safely moving. We have high expectations for our roads in Hamilton County and expect the workers to do what it takes to complete a professional grade job without leaning on their shovels or talking on their cell phones while directing traffic. Although aside from the dangerous situation in having to deal with traffic, these good folks have been working in the hottest summer Indiana has seen in a very long time and certainly deserve to take a break every once in a while. Can construction managers work to ensure the workers on the job site are properly dressed and focused on the task at hand? We all seek quick work without being unreasonable – but we also expect crews to behave in a manner that complies with our cities and shows respect for motorists and pedestrians.

Sex ed

It is our position that the single gender classes at IPS Arlington Community High School are an innovative way to help solve social and academic problems at that school. Arlington has been in chaos the last several years, so drastic measures were called for. Separating boys from girls is one way to help students focus on their studies. It remains to be seen if this new approach will actually be conducive to learning, because girls and boys can be equally disruptive. Teachers and administrators need to participate in ongoing training to ensure this is a workable solution. Over the summer, news of a possible takeover by the Indiana Department of Education dominated the media, and Arlington is one of the schools on the list. While Arlington and schools in Hamilton County are vastly different, we believe our school boards should keep an eye on how going to single sex classes affects grades. It is important to be innovative with education and this is the latest attempt to create a positive learning environment where teachers and students can focus on academics rather than discipline. Let’s hope Arlington doesn’t abandon this effort before it has had time to show success.

NHS’ loss is the district’s gain

FROM THE BACKSHOP Our readers prove to be perfect barometer Last week, we chronicled the real story of the resignation of Steven B. Libman, former president and CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts. As of press time for this edition, we had received dozens of e-mails, voice mails, texts and tweets in support of our story and our decision to “sit” on it until we could publish it with the vetting it - and all the pieces we run - deserves. We’ve heard from private citizens and public officials. It has been a wonderfully heartening response from the Hamilton County community, and it validates why we published the story and why we publish this newspaper. If there is a way for us to serve (and protect) our fellow taxpayers, please believe us when we tell you we will do everything we can to achieve on that objective. In that vein, stay tuned, because there will be other similar stories on which we’re working now. We strive to be fair and accurate in our reporting, and we believe we achieved exactly that with the piece on Libman. ••• We wish Amy Massillamany the best of luck in her new role as a Hamilton County Council member. She was elected in a Republican Party caucus earlier this month. At

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg 29, she will represent something of a “youth” vote on the council, and we commend the caucus for not taking the easy, good-old-boy way of plugging the District 2 gap created by Judy Levine’s resignation and subsequent move to California. Massillamany is a conservative, and our opinion is you never can have too many of those. ••• With the coming of Labor Day Weekend, we wish to remind you that Current in Noblesville will be available in homes Sept. 3 instead of Sept. 6. Because the post office is closed Sept. 5 for the holiday (the day on which routes normally are sorted), we’re going to press early to get the paper to you early.

Commentary By Robert Herrington I was prepared to write this week’s column about the start of school and how I could relate to all those students who are entering school for the first time or starting at a new school. I guess my memories will have to wait until next year because on the eve of Noblesville Schools’ first day of the 2011-2012 academic year, the school board approved the promotion of Annetta Petty from Noblesville High School principal to Director of Curriculum for the entire district. Subsequent dominoes fell as Jeff Bryant was named interim NHS principal and Stacey Swain was named to Bryant’s post as assistant principal overseeing the NHS Freshman Campus (for more see page 8). While I’m excited for Mrs. Petty and the district at large, I know she will be greatly missed at the high school. I had Mrs. Petty as an English teacher while in high school – she was known as Ms. DeMoss at the time. She is among a handful of teachers I had that I still stay in contact with and jokes with me; however, when I write well it was her doing; when I don’t, then I had forgotten what she taught me. As a teacher, she always pushed her students to learn more and think creativity with homework assignments and required readings. While I wasn’t a student when she was principal, I

know from covering the education beat that she continued to expect the most of her students and always had their best interests at heart. She could be hard, but she was fair. Mrs. Petty could also be quite funny. I remember a certain “Faculty Night Live” skit where she swallowed her pride and did a little dance on the stage in front of the entire audience. Her large heart and joy of seeing students excel will serve her well as curriculum director. After the school board meeting, I asked Mrs. Petty what she’ll miss most about not being principal. She didn’t hesitate in saying, “I’ll miss not being with students every day and the faculty of NHS.” I know her students and staff will miss her too, but in her new role Mrs. Petty will be able to positively affect the educational lives of all students – not just those in grades 9-12. The academic achievement at NHS has been on an upward swing since Petty took over and residents should be encouraged the same impact will be made district-wide with her at the curriculum helm and great teachers in the classroom.

You can’t win ’em all

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson Do you ever have days where miscommunication screws you? Where you’d have been better off speaking French? I had one last weekend that had me shaking ma tête in exasperation. We were up north for my husband’s family reunion. Thirty-one people ages eight months to 66 crammed into a 1920s lake cottage with no air conditioning. Despite the heat and humanity, I was surviving. Saturday morning was unremarkable. However, shortly after lunch, I had my first “mishap.” Doo came outside determined to take the boat for an adult-only cruise around the lake, and I shot him down because his brothers had promised the kids they would make a tubing run. Obviously, individual plans had not been communicated properly. So we hashed it out right in front of his dad. Doo plead it was naptime and several couples had only these few minutes to enjoy. I stood my ground on integrity and won the fight, but felt unbelievably guilty when I told my in-laws they would not be boating sans enfants at the moment. Strike one. A few hours later, the next snafu occurred. One of my brothers-in-law was turning 40, and I was charged with making my famous chocolate cake for the dinner celebration. My oldest daughter came in late on the baking, so I promised her she could help with the icing. However, the boat battle left me frustrated and memory lapsed because I completely forgot to get her. Worse yet, I let her ever-present

younger sister participate. When shafted daughter found out, she quite literally went ballistic. She was so upset I had to pawn her off on Doo, who promptly incarcerated her in one of the 100 degree bedrooms until she calmed down. Her confinement wouldn’t have been so bad, except she subsequently missed the long-anticipated hacking of the lion piñata with her 16 cousins. Obviously, this piece of news did not sit well with her either. Strike two for moi. The final controversial incident happened shortly after dinner. We ate later than anticipated; so, several of the moms decided to put their kids straight to bed and bypassed dessert. Birthday deliciousness would apparently be savored the next day. I missed the memo, however, and told my four children they could stay up. You can imagine what happened when my gateau-deprived nieces and nephews heard their cousins were scoring sugar while they were sequestered in sweatboxes. It was not pretty and neither were the looks I rightly received from several sistersin-law. Merde. But by this point I was so emotionally drained I just couldn’t give a flying frick, ya know? So I apologized for the umpteenth time that day and called it quits. You can’t win ‘em all. Paix out.

Look up!

Cut your engine in line – children breathe here Commentary By Krista Bocko I read an article recently that had me a bit riled up. An Indianapolis school district must charge for bus service because of a “budget shortfall,” when voters turned down a referendum in May. When I read the numbers – not even 2,000 students are signed up to ride the buses (down from 7,000 to 8,000 last year) – my heart sank thinking of the environmental impact of all of those cars idling in line and all of the concentrated pollution. Yuck. After school began I read about parents sitting in long and snaking lines of cars, probably all idling. One parent with three school kids spent four hours driving (and sitting) in traffic on the first day. The environmental impact is HUGE, as is the concern I have for these kids breathing in this cloud of pollution. Is there any anti-idling ordinance at any Indiana school? I’m doubtful, and it’s endlessly frustrating. I’m so tired of the short-sightedness (we don’t

want to pay more taxes!) versus the long term thinking of “what’s best for the students, parents, staff, environment and health?” I think this applies to the school too, because apparently the school has a $14 million “rainy day” fund. If the school transportation issue isn’t a worthwhile cause to spend money on, I don’t know what is. If you drive your child to school, please carpool if you can and turn off your engine anytime you’ll be waiting for more than 10 seconds in line. Many school districts nationwide have adopted anti-idling campaigns and I would love to see this in Indiana. Idling is completely unnecessary and it’s an easy thing to just cut the engine. Oh, and with our state ranking No. 6 (out of 10) for toxic air quality, it’s the least we can all do. Krista Bocko lives in “Old Town” Noblesville with her husband and four children.

NPA names inaugural garden contest winners By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Cindy and John Hillard were named the grand prize winners of the inaugural Noblesville Preservation Alliance Denzel Hufford Garden Contest. The Hillard’s received an outdoor garden marker and $200 for their beautiful outdoor haven at 678 N. Ninth St. in Noblesville. The Grand Prize winning garden was judged “perfectly” in the judges’ eyes. According to the Hamilton County Master Gardner judge, the garden was diverse and lush. The Hillard’s have a rock grotto, brick hardscapes and garden art, including antique iron pieces used in a way to accent, the lushness of the garden. The first runner-up winners were Norma and Mel Minion, 219 Cheshire Circle, and the second runner-up was Ingeborg Reichwein, 548 Banbury Road. The runners-up each received $50 gift certificates to Garden Thyme at the Old Schoolhouse. The awards were made possible by an anonymous NPA family with NPA matching funds.

Clark named Wells Scholar at IU Current in Noblesville Noblesville High School 2011 graduate Reece Clark is one of 17 incoming freshman at Indiana University who was named a Wells Scholar. He Clark plans to major in Biology and Spanish. Wells Scholars receive full tuition and course-related fees, as well as a living stipend, for four years of undergraduate study on the Bloomington campus. Scholars may choose to spend up to one of those years studying abroad. The scholarship, created in honor of the late Indiana University Chancellor Herman B. Wells, ranks among the most competitive and prestigious awards offered by any American university. Clark is a National AP Scholar and was salutatorian of the Class of 2011. He led the Noblesville Destination ImagiNation team to third place finishes in engineering challenges in state competition his junior and senior years. He served as president of the National Honor Society and captain of the Spell Bowl team – earning a perfect score his senior year. He also captained the Academic Super Bowl interdisciplinary team his junior year and the math team his senior year.

Petty moves to Central Office, Bryant to head NHS By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Beginning Oct. 1, Noblesville Schools will have a shakeup at the leadership positions in the district’s secondary buildings. Annetta Petty, principal at Noblesville High School for the past six years, has been named director of curriculum for Noblesville Schools. Jeff Bryant, who is the assistant principal that oversees the NHS Freshman Campus, will become interim high school principal. Stacey Swan, assistant principal at the NHS Main Campus, will move to the freshman campus as the interim assistant principal there. Both interim positions will be effective Oct. 1 through June 30, 2012. “Annetta has put a team in place at the high school where we didn’t have to fret about that even for a second,” Noblesville Schools Superintendent Libbie Conner said. “The entire administration team is very strong, very special.” Petty added. Petty will replace Jeanne Fredericks, who took the same position at Hamilton Southeastern Schools this summer. She joined the NHS staff as an English teacher in 1983 and taught for 14 years before being named an assistant principal in 1997 and principal in 2005. She has a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University, a master’s degree from Butler University, and an administrator’s license from Ball State University. “She’ll fill some of the gaps in the curricu-

lum work. She is a perfect fit for the direction we are headed,” Connor said of Petty. “Twenty-nine years ago I came to Noblesville. Noblesville’s been very good to me and I’m very pleased I’m able to give back,” Petty said. Bryant has worked at Noblesville Schools for the past 12 years and served as an NHS assistant principal for the past five years. “There’s a lot of momentum at the high school. I look forward to the challenge to keep the goals high,” he said. “Expectations are high. We send more than 80 percent of graduates to post secondary education.” “You have small shoes but big footprints to fill,” School Board President Jane Barr told Bryant. The appointments were approved Aug. 16 by the Noblesville Board of School Trustees.

As children get older and become active in sports or extracurricular activities, coordinating parenting time around practice and pick-up times can become frustrating. More conflict can arise especially if the extracurricular activity interferes with parenting time schedules. It can be a difficult choice to balance a child’s need for social interaction with quality time with both parents, particularly in situations where one parent is the primary physical custodian. Another dispute that commonly arises occurs when a child is transitioning from an elementary school to middle or high school, and transporta-

tion needs change. In situations where both parents work outside the home, parents may be struggling to come up with a solution. This has been a particular issue for many parents this year in certain districts that have changed busing policies.

Changes in parents’ work schedules may also necessitate an adjustment to parenting time. This occurs most frequently with parents who work in careers with non-traditional work schedules, such as healthcare and emergency services. Standard parenting time under the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines may not be feasible for parents who work varying shifts or different days each week. When changes occur, co-parents with an amicable relationship may be able to communicate and work out an agreement, but that isn’t always possible. If a dispute has arisen regarding parenting time, consulting with an attorney can help you understand all of your options. At Harden Jackson, our family law attorneys help clients find solutions to life’s transitions.

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Lana Thompson’s educational career has come full circle at Forest Hill Elementary School. She spent her first year of teaching at Forest Hill and now as Legacy Christian School starts its inaugural year at the hisThompson toric Noblesville schoolhouse, Thompson begins her first year as Legacy’s Head of School. “Forest Hill has always been an important part of Noblesville Schools with rich history,” she said. “It’s neat to be able to be on both sides of the big desk. Our school is a family and the family atmosphere is part of what made Forest Hill unique.” Legacy began as a preschool ministry at White River Community Church in 1995. The school stayed at the church until 2010. Last year, the school was housed at Noblesville Nazarene Church. In addition to providing a permanent home, Forest Hill provides Legacy plenty of space for the growing school. “We’ve got space to grow, that’s what’s exciting,” said Thompson. “Our enrollment is up. We add new students almost every day.” Shannon Mullins began teaching at Legacy in 2000 when it was then named White River Christian Kindergarten. As the first teacher hired back then, Mullins has seen the transformation of Legacy over the years. “In the past 12 years there have been many ups and downs. It’s been good. We learned God is fulfilling – even in the valleys we’ve really seen him. We’ve grown as a family and individuals,” she said. As Mullins sat preparing her room for the first day of school, she remains amazed at her space. Her classroom last year was a quarter of the size of her room this year. “We’re really, really

Hawkins said ninth grade will be added next school year with the school’s vision to expand to 12th grade. “It’s interesting to watch the progression of the school,” said Hawkins. “Many parents have told us, ‘we want our kids to graduate from Legacy.’”

In addition to adding extra sessions for each of the classes on its current roster, this season Jr. Civic will debut new offerings like Tarkington Tots, a one-hour class for moms, dads or caregivers and their toddlers, and a Musical Theatre Workshop designed specifically for high school students.

Watering deeply forces the grass to set down deeper roots, making the roots of the grass deeper than those of the weeds. When the soil dries out, the weeds will die from lack of moisture, while the grass stays lush and green. Another benefit of watering deeply is that your lawn will require less frequent watering. -www.doityourself.com » Fixing BBQ blunders – Remove barbecue sauce stains from your clothes through this process: Rinse with cold water, then sponge the stain with white vinegar.

Catching waves TRAVEL By Tracy Line I don’t know what got into me – could’ve been the sun, beach or even the Land Shark Lager. But somehow on my first day of vacation, I found myself calling around to find a surf instructor. Within minutes, I’d set up a lesson for my daughter and myself. At first I was elated (as was my daughter). I’ve been going to Holden Beach, N.C. for more than 30 years; the thought of trying something new was exhilarating. Plus, we’d just seen “Soul Surfer” But by the day of our lesson, my excitement transformed to fear. I woke up early with my mind buzzing. What was I doing? I have no business surfing. Although I always wanted to try it, I couldn’t picture it. I’d never classify myself as athletic. I’m half way through my 40s; I could break a leg doing this. But there was no bowing out. My daughter was pumped, and Barbara, our 65-year-old

hippy-sque instructor, was raring to go. The waves were rough and the undertow strong, but no one else seemed to care. I was stuck. First we practiced on the sand. Lie on the board, paddle, pull yourself up. Turns out pulling yourself up is the hardest part. Once we hit water, I set a goal of not killing myself. Next goal: stand up on the board. Shortly after, it happened: I got up, stayed up and surfed. Not just once, but several times. Hallelujah! My daughter and I held our own that day. Barbara loaned us the board for the week, so our fun continued. I’ll never be an expert, and I look silly carrying the board, which is bigger than me, but who cares? It was great fun and thrilling to boot. My respect for Bethany Hamilton is tripled.

We’d just seen ‘Soul Surfer.’ But by the day of our lesson, my excitement transformed to fear.

The Beaver

PG-13, 90 minutes

Gibson delivers in off-kilter drama.

DVDs By Chris Lloyd “The Beaver” is an imperfect movie with an imperfect star, Mel Gibson. But the film rises above its shortcomings to become a genuinely compelling journey of one man’s descent into mental instability, and how he rises out of it with the unlikely help of a ratty old beaver hand puppet. Gibson plays a toy company CEO, Walter Black, whose life has come off its rails. He can’t even speak to his wife and kids, and mostly dodges work to lie in bed. But he finds his voice again – figuratively and literally – when he starts using the beaver to speak for him. Others aren’t accepting at first, but when he reveals it’s a prescribed therapeutic tool, people soon accept the reinvigorated Walter, even if he

comes with a sidekick straight from bad cable access television. What I liked most about “The Beaver” – which combines elements of both tragedy and comedy – is it takes real risks. Director (and co-star) Jodie Foster and screenwriter Kyle Killen are working outside of familiar Hollywood tropes, refusing to put the story and characters into neat little boxes. For those willing to stick it out, “The Beaver” is a redemptive story told with off-kilter charm. Movie: B

Whiskey Grilled Baby Back Ribs Ingredients • coarsely ground black pepper • 1 tablespoon ground chile pepper • 2 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 1/2 cup minced onion • 1 1/2 cups water • 1/2 cup tomato paste • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce • 2 teaspoons salt • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper • 2 teaspoons whiskey • 2 teaspoons garlic powder • 1/4 teaspoon paprika • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder • 1 tablespoon dark molasses • 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper Directions 1. Have your butcher remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. 2. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chile pepper over meat. Wrap each rack in aluminum foil. Place on the “off” side of your grill (indirect heat) and grill in the foil for 3 hours at 225 degrees. 3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for

5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chile pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside. 4. Change outdoor grill to high direct heat. Remove the racks from the foil, and place again on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they’re grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

Eyelash Extensions Celebrities are known for their impeccable looks, slim physiques, and the endless amount of help they have to achieve this ideal image. While we would all love to have a team getting us ready in the morning, an hour in the salon can be just the trick to minimizing your morning prep time and adding effortless glamour to your everyday style. Eyelash extensions are the newest way to get incredible style with minimal effort. Why try them? Extensions are semi-permanent, weightless, water-resistant, and last up to four weeks. The application is a painless, relaxing procedure that can take as little as a half hour from start to finish. You’ll notice increased length and thickness even without mascara. What are they? Salon 01 uses Xtreme Lashes that are composed of single strands of synthetic eyelashes curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied directly to the individual eyelashes, one at a time. There are over 400 varieties with varying lengths, colors, curvatures, and thicknesses. Because there are so many options, you’ll find a style that is natural and perfect for you.

Back To School! $5 off a haircut for all elementary, middle, high school and college students

Are they safe? Xtreme Lashes was actually developed by a team of scientists, physicians, and lash stylists under the direction of the founder Jo Mousselli, who is a registered nurse. Because such a diverse team has created the lashes, they are of the highest safety, quality, and performance standards. How will it change my beauty routine? You will no longer need to apply mascara but will be able to do so using Xtreme Lashes Mascara, specially formulated for the extensions. Aftercare for the extensions requires makeup remover and facial cleanser for proper maintenance.

Fall 2011 Hair Trend: The Double Knot While 2010 was adorned with embellishments and accessories, 2011 is a change toward the more au naturale. There will be no lack in impressibility or quality but a shift in embracing natural texture and style will be a welcome change. Prep Prep using the Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray to ensure a strong hold. The key is to add volume without making the style too messy. Use Aquage Uplifting Foam or Sea Salt Texturizing spray at the roots. Set the products by blow-drying on high. Style After hair is completely dry, part in the middle down the back of the head. Pull the separated strands to

each side and firmly grasp them in your hands. Tie the first knot and pull tight before tying the next. After the two knots are tied, secure using bobby pins. Start by placing a bobby pin through the left hair part and the hair knot. Do the same on the right hair knot. For a more secure hold, add a pin that goes through the second knot that was created. Finish Add shine and hold by using Aquage Finishing Spray liberally throughout the hair. For more style tips, be sure to ask your stylist at Salon 01 about the newest trends!

Something old, something new Commentary By Darla Kinney Scoles Past columns have focused on marriage records in family history research, but what about marriage photos as a way to connect the generations? Even the most camera-shy families take photos on wedding days that handed down through the years, meaning that most of us have a family-tree of brides and grooms. The nice thing about such photos is they are usually labeled with names, dates, places and other details that add to their worth. When putting together your family group records, be sure to check out wedding pictures for information. When faced with what to give a family member as a wedding gift (or any other occasion, for that matter), consider putting together a photo collage or framed collection of ancestral nuptial portraits. Today’s technology makes it easy to copy old photos and give to multiple family members without giving up original shots. In honor of this 2011 wedding season, the Hamilton County Historical Society (www. hamiltoncoinhs.org) is featuring a free exhibit of antique wedding gowns at their 810 Conner St. location in Noblesville. The gowns on

display range in time period from the 1890s to the 1920s and are showcased in the museum’s formal parlor. Included is a groom suit with the 1900 bridal gown – from the July 1, 1990 wedding of Sarah Clark and Carey Barker (pictured). The exhibit, located at the Old Jail and Sheriff’s Residence, runs for one more week, ending on Aug. 31. Open varying hours Wednesday through Sunday; contact the museum at 770-0775 or hamiltoncomuseum@att.net to plan a visit. The unique gowns saved for generations on show there, may just inspire a photo-treasure hunt at home to locate the snapshots of brideand-groom history for display and gift-giving in one’s own family. These shots represent the happiest of memories in our generational memory bank. Enjoy. Darla Kinney Scoles is a freelance journalist living in Noblesville. Her most recent work involves the creation of “Stories”, an individualized writing service helping people get their personal histories down on paper. Contact her at darlakinneyscoles@gmail.com.

» Builders still pessimistic – The National Association of Home Builders said last week that its index of builder sentiment in August was unchanged at 15. The index has been below 20 for all but one month during the past two years. Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the housing market. It hasn’t reached 50 since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom. -www.finance.yahoo.com » The living dead – More Americans are being erroneously killed off by the Social Security Administration every day. Of the approximately 2.8 million death reports the Social Security Administration receives per year, about 14,000 – or one in every 200 deaths – are incorrectly entered into its Death Master File. That averages out to 38 life-altering mis-

takes a day. Erroneous death entries can lead to benefit termination, cause severe financial hardship and distress to affected individuals, and result in the publication of living individuals’ personal information. -www.money.cnn.com » Kids costs $200,000 – Parents will spend, on average, more than $200,000 raising a child by the time their teen graduates from high school, according to a study by Los Angeles-based IBISWorld. Couples earning more than $75,000 a year will shell out more $300,000. According to the study, a typical family spends $12,658 a year raising a child. www.moneywatch.bnet.com » BMC: Buy or sell? – Lackluster quarterly results at BMC Software have triggered a debate over whether this is a blip or an indication of long-term weakness for the business-software maker. The company failed to show any bookings growth in April-June at its enterprise services management business, the larger of its two divisions. Weeks ago, the stock hit a more-than-a-decade high of $56.55. The bears say BMC’s low estimated earnings multiple -- of 12.4 against a sector average of 39.6 -- is a sign of muted future growth. -Reuters

Basement remodel: ‘Open design for family & friends’ REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home located in the Longridge Estates Subdivision on the west side of Carmel was built in 2006. The current owners built the home but had not finished the basement.The homeowner commented, “having the basement finished was a dream of ours since the beginning.” ROOM FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS: According to the homeowner, the entire family is enjoying the new basement. The family includes mom and dad and children with ages ranging from 14 to 22. “We wanted the basement remodeled to make it more inviting and to accommodate the friends of our youngest child. It turns out my husband uses the room the most. The kids are not there all of the time. but now they have a place to go when their friends come over.” ENTERTAINMENT AREAS: The new basement features a media area highlighted by an inceiling projector, wide screen and theatre seating. According to the homeowner, “We just love

the entertainment area. We love the big screen with the projector, the seating arrangements, the exercise room and the closet space. The basement area is so open. We really like the way it was designed and the way it all came together.” CLOSET SPACE AND EXERCISE ROOM: The new basement features additional storage and a dedicated exercise room, which is separated from the rest of the basement by glass French doors. The homeowner said, “Things were sort of organized on store-bought shelves or I didn’t have anything at all to put things on. We could never find anything. Now, with the closet space, it is easy to reach things and organize with the shelves. My exercise room is inviting to be in. I’m more motivated to exercise.” Finally, the new basement received new textured epoxy flooring and a new full bathroom.

In their eyes

PETS By Rebecca Stevens It’s 8 a.m. at the Humane Society for Hamilton County, and you can hear a choir of meows and barking dogs as the lights turn on. They know their humans are here. Very soon, the walks will begin, breakfast will be served and they will each cherish the brief moments the staff will spend giving them a bit of love and consolation. It’s another day of shelter life. Today is special because it’s Tuesday and we’re open until 7 p.m. so that means everyone gets two extra hours of opportunity to show each visitor why they are the one to take home. Some of the new arrivals are still settling in and trying to figure out how they ended up here. Many came from homes and loved their owners, so it’s confusing as to how they wound up homeless. “Did I do something wrong?” “Was I a bad dog?” Then there are those that came from the streets, victims of abuse and neglect. They know all too well things could be worse. They like their beds and warm blankets they get each day. Food comes twice a day like clockwork, and that’s better than scrounging through the trash. Still, whether they came from humble beginnings or families who once loved them, they all want the same thing. Some rush to the front

of the cage or kennel as a new person walks by. Some are frightened and hide in the back of their kennels or under their cat beds—peeking out occasionally. The social butterflies who know how to work the crowd will reach out from the cage to touch the human who stopped to read their profile. After all, this is their big chance. “Hey mister, I’m here! I’m the one!” For more on this story visit currentnoblesville.com Rebecca Stevens is executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County .
